It was -20 but we saw one buffalo which was cool. The trail where they are more populous was closed due to snow, it would have been nice to know before proceeding, though there was a notice posted on the outdoor bulletin boards by the info desk. Manage your expectations and you'll be very happy, nice way to get out of the house in the winter. The indoor fur samples are a nice experience.
Love it in winter, lack of bugs, lack of people on trail if wanting to go solo and not have to be worried about other people. View is great, saw lots of bison, a family of moose, beaver family on beaver pond trail.
The lake gets very gross in summer though do to algae and a lack of variation in pond to clean or prevent overgrowth. Don’t recommend swimming or canoeing a lot.

We visited in mid September and were greeted to hundreds of bison minutes entering the park. We spotted them in the bison loop, it was genuinely really terrifying being surrounded by them, but also really amazing and I know we were super lucky to have this experience. We even saw a heard on the side of the Hwy outside of the park!
